Frequently Asked Questions
While convenient, microSD cards can introduce slight latency compared to dedicated hardware; it's generally negligible for most applications but worth considering for critical timing.
The 16 gate inputs and MIDI learn function make it incredibly versatile for sequencing; however, the pad layout is still very responsive for hands-on performance.
The delay is functional, offering basic modulation, but it’s not a substitute for a high-end effects processor; it’s best viewed as a creative addition rather than a core feature.
